It was an overall odd episode of dynamite but I will say I am really looking forward to the triple trios match next week. HOB should retain and hopefully Omega goes off and does singles stuff.

Trying to think what Canadian is going to challenge Jade next week. Statlander isn't Canadian and she's pretty much the one who was set to take the belt from Jade before she got hurt.

I am looking forward to a long reign of terror from HOB. I wasn’t a fan initially but they have won me over. I bet the match next Wednesday is going to be a banger. I like the JAS but it sure is going to be fun to see them get destroyed by HOB and Elite next week.

Said a while back I think Power House Hobbs can be the AEW verison of Big E. He's got the looks to be a top guy. Give him a strong run with the TNT title to see if he can be that guy.

On Busted Open on Sirus the suggested AEW has killed Wardlow as a face and best thing give him a break from TV just to have him return when the faces are about to take out MJF for it to loo like he's going to join in just to save MJF and become MJF protector and build himself up as a heel again before you turn him at some point on MJF

Is upper deck going to do match dated moments for Revolution or is that over now?

Angelina Love, perhaps?

Rumor is it's Taya Valkyrie

I would be very happy with that. Always bugged me they didn’t really go after her when she was released. She better than half the women’s roster they have currently although that’s not really saying a lot.

I’d be fine w him being off TV til he can grow his hair a little longer again. The generic hair cut he’s rocking currently throws me off so much.

I think AEW is going to move on from him tbh..I think they rushed him way to much and he just isn't very good in the ring.

I really hope they don't return him with MJF. I just don't see how they can resale that and make it interesting.

He will go down with other big guys like Archer and Cage. Buried and eventually move on.

The Outcasts are DOA. No one cares a thing about them all busts signings IMO.

Made zero sense to turn them heel.

ME was good, but I was hoping they keep Hangman single and not go back 3 years.

Oh well.

I get it from a "company" standpoint...

The crowd got behind Hayter and basically "turned" her face and Britt just by association, until the inevitable jealousy split.

There's really nobody for them to feud with...

Riho..don't make me laugh, and she's also face
Shida is MIA...no idea what side she is either...

Willow is good, but not that level yet...same with Blue...also both faces..

Statlander still injured...

So they had to do something.

Now..the abrupt way they did it, out of nowhere and with little to no explanation was truly awful...

Ruby Soho's turn actually made the most sense and she explained it very well with her promo last week imo

cdub6238 · 03-16-2023, 12:21 PM

It was definitely an interesting Dynamite imo.

Opening match was very good. Have no idea why they cold turned BCC heel, just like my thought on Paige/Storm...no explanation at all..just Wheeler Yuta shows up and starts acting pissy with everyone and all of a sudden boom they are all heels now...

I mean don't get me wrong, the more aggressive style fits them better...just weird way of going about it.

Was good to see Stu Grayson again. He was so underrated and underutilized imo. Not sure where the rest of this is heading.

I thought the opening MJF stuff was great...minus the whatever the hell Darby was talking about...honestly he started talking and I fast forwarded til he quit..all the barbs back and forth were great though, especially from MJF...looks to be heading for a hell of a 4way

I'm sooooooo over Jade...

I think most everybody knew/thought it'd be Taya...interesting damn near zero reaction to her though despite her being Canadian

Qt with an awful TMZ ripoff with several petty WWE references...please don't do that again...

I thought the OC/jarrett match was great. I get it if all the comedy/hammy stuff isn't for you but I enjoyed it...and they sold me a ticket with the Lethal interference, I was like omg they really gonna make Jarrett a champ in 2023?? Kudos

Speaking of ham...Daddy Magic is great at what he does, I do t care what anyone else says lol

Main Event...oh my..slugfest...spotfest...total nonstop action as you'd expect.

That crowd pop for the Jericho/Omega face off in Canada...

cdub6238 · 03-16-2023, 12:22 PM

Also..Riho running down to save Britt/Hayter with a terribly obvious fake pipe was hilarious on so many non believable levels

Gurds · 03-22-2023, 08:56 PM

This main event has been phenomenal

No doubt, FTR are going back to WWE.

And that's 100%on Tony. FTR were steam rolling then Tony slammed on the brakes. I haven't really watched since FTR haven't done much of anything.

It's on Tony because he was okay with his EVP's killing FTR's momentum. They're definitely more of a HHH kind of tag-team.
